Fence material and method of making the same



April 29, 1930. c. w. SPICER FENCE MATERIAL AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME Filed July 1'7, 1928' INVENTOR H15 ATTORNE Patented Apr. 29, 1930 UNITED STATES CLARENCE WINFRED SPICER, OF PLAINFIELD, NEW JERSEY FENCE MATERIAL AND ivrn'rnon or MAKING THE SAME Application filed July 17,

My invention relates to fencing material more particularly to wire fence fabrics of various mesh which are sold in rolls to be erected on posts or poles and has for its object the production of a roll of fencing that is convenient and easily handled and erected without any great effort on the part of those constructing the fence.

Nhen wire fence material is fabricated out of wire as heavy as No. 12 wire or heavier it quite a heavy task to unwind the roll prior to stringing it on the posts or poles. An object of my invention is to overcome this objectionable feature.

My roll has rolled within the roll a pull wire that can be utilized to unroll the fence fabric easily and quickly.

The foregoing and other features of my invention will now be described in connec- 2 tion with the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification in which similar characters of reference indicate like parts after which I shall point out in the claims those features which I'believe to be new and desire to secure by Letters Patent.

In the drawings Figure 1 illustrates method of preparing wire fence fabric and method ofunwinding.

Figure 2 shows the fence fabric before it is rolled up.

Figure 3 shows a modified form of myrfencing similar to that shown in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a diagrammatic sketch showing a transparent roll of fence fabric with the separate pull wire coiled within the roll.

In the carrying out of my invention I may use any wire fence fabric 10 which is usually sold in rolls.

Before the roll of wire fabric is rolled up into a roll I fasten a separate pull wire 11 to the edge of the fabric 12 and then roll up the strip of fence fabric 10 with the separate wire 11 longitudinally disposed throughout the length of fence fabric until it is in the form shown in Figure 4. In Figure 3, I show two such separate wires 11. It will be readily understood that any number of wires 11 may be used. On the end of the wire 11 opposite the end fastened to the wire fence fabric I provide a hitch 13 of any convenient 1928. Serial No. 293,439.

' time of erecting the fence on the posts 16.

It will be observed by referring to Figure 1 that after the loose end of the fence fabric is secured to a post by pulling the pull wire 11 the roll of fabric will be unrolled at the same time tension is given to the fencing.

I do not wish to limit myself to unrolling the roll in a Vertical position as the roll ma be laid on the ground and by pulling the pu 1 wire 11 the roll can be unrolled and straightened before putting on the posts.

I wish it distinctly understood that my rollof fence fabric and the method of making same herein illustrated and describedis in the form in which I desire to construct it and that any changes or modification may be-made of pull wires rolled longitudinally of the fence material whereby the fence material will be unrolled when the pull wire is pulled.

3. A roll of fence material with a separate pull wire rolled therein, the inner end of the pull wire fastened to the inner edge of the roll and the other end provided with a gripping means whereby the fence material will be unrolled when the pull wire is pulled.
